Escolonia Flower, Monochaetum Vulcanicum – Parque Nacional Volcan Poás, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica
The eco system at the Poás volcano is very unusual. There are large heart-shaped philodendron leaves popularly called "Poor Man’s Umbrella" (more scientifically they are Gunnera insignis) as well as huge ferns, mosses, and bromeliads. Yellow and pink wild flowers line the paths to the crater. Especially noticeable are the Escolonia Flowers (Melastoma Taceae).
